Where The Bulldogs Have Been: Georiga had arguably the best quarterback-running back-wide receiver trio in the nation last year with Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno and A.J. Green and still couldn't deliver on the promise of that talent. For that, they had injuries and an inability...

Where the Irish Have Been: To say the last two years have been the depths of Hell for Notre Dame football may be putting it a tad too lightly. Following 2007's 3-9 record, the worst in school history, the Irish would put together another horrible season that made the first two...

Where The Bulls Have Been: Once again, Jim Leavitt's crew tempted us into thinking they were ready to take the next step, opening 5-0 and rising to No. 10 in the nation, only to lose four of five. Is it a matter of a program that's still learning to win? Remember, USF has only...

Where The Yellow Jackets Have Been: Let's be perfectly honest: nobody outside of Georgia Tech thought Paul Johnson's triple-option offense was really going to work at the BCS level. Defenses were too advanced, we all believed. You couldn't forgo the passing game in this...

Mike Leach doesn't do Twitter. He doesn't do MySpace, Facebook -- or even e-mail for that matter. The Texas Tech mad genius and Kip Dynamite would clearly not be BFFs. During Big 12 Media Days, Leach went on a rant about technology, in which he says he'd like to break or...

Where The Panthers Have Been: It's hard to waste a really, really great back. Yet Dave Wannstedt managed to do just that last season as the Panthers failed to have any offensive variety outside of LeSean McCoy. Maybe it was because of McCoy that they didn't have anything else...
